RECOGNIZING DUANE FOUTS, THE 2011 PRESIDENT OF THE ARIZONA ASSOCIATION

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. HARRY E. MITCHELL

                               of arizona

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, August 10, 2010

  Mr. MITCHELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Mr. Duane Fouts, who was recently elected the 2011 
President of the Arizona Association of Realtors'. Mr. Fouts 
will be installed as President on October 6, 2010.
  Though his career began in 1988 as a salesperson, Mr. Fouts climbed 
his way up the proverbial ladder of the real estate industry. 
Frequently recognized for his contributions and leadership in the past, 
I am confident that Mr. Fouts will continue to demonstrate such 
leadership and admirably represent the 42,000 plus membership of the 
Arizona Association of Realtors'.
  Mr. Fouts has earned numerous leadership appointments and industry 
awards for professional contributions, including the 2008 Realtor of 
the Year in Phoenix. He also gives back to his community as volunteer 
for the Scottsdale Boys and Girls Club as a basketball coach, and with 
Habitat for Humanity. I am proud to represent Mr. Fouts and his 
family--he and his wife Jill have two children and five grandchildren--
in Arizona's 5th District.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in recognizing Mr. Duane Fouts as an 
important member of Arizona's 5th District and the 2011 President of 
the Arizona Association of Realtors'.
